Samuel Eto'o has compared the supporters of Anzhi Makhachkala to those of Liverpool.

The striker, who joined Anzhi from Inter Milan during the summer, has been overwhelmed by the Russian club's supporters.

"My teammates and I personally are very thankful to them," said the Cameroon international.

"Owing to our supporters we never feel lonely in away matches.

"They're like Liverpool fans with their famous hymn, 'You'll Never Walk Alone'."

Eto'o has scored two goals in his first three appearances for Anzhi.
